I was glad to hear the news. I’m not anti development up to a reasonable point, but at some point things begin to get overbuilt, the infrastructure in the area gets stressed, and the area becomes too urbanized. In my opinion, the area in question would be better served by tapping the brakes on growth. Things like traffic and availability of quality health care are already being stressed and more development will only make things worse. Not surprisingly, the only Commissioner in favor of the annexation also happens to have ties to a large building supply company.
